Mourning another victim of COVID-19: A poetic tribute to the loss of the NYC Marathon
Marathon Lost
Start spreading the news
To stop spreading the virus,
social distancing has defeated the long-distance run
This year the New York City Marathon is gone
There will be no feet chasing feats on the urban streets
Cancelled by concerns over conditions of contagion
Like Wimbledon across the pond
Winnerless with no 2020 edition
